I've got a 2012 base gt with 5.0 manual for 28k.
Zl1 ain't doing 200. And I don't believe it's anywhere near 650hp?
Also on the paint, this is only one of many available. Kinda sleeperish it is.
650hp, 200mph for 50k what other car comes close?

Bah. Style wise it's still a mustang. . how'd it do on the Nurburgring? I found 7:41 but at 7:59 and similar price cadillac cts-v???
I hear ya... but um... its like arguing about if the zx14 or the busa is faster Most folks that actually own them run out of skill, road and balls long before 200
wonder how fast a ZL1 would be @ 650hp

Try to find one at sticker price, most dealers add 20.000 on. From what I've read in the car mag's breaks are an issue and they got close to 200, 196, but none have made it yet. still one fine car.

2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 vs. 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 - Motor Trend
Gm must have paid them
"To be clear, the Mustang never tried to get away from us, but there was always a niggling suspicion it might. Hit a bump under any condition, be it acceleration, cornering, or braking, and that live rear axle begins dancing around, undermining driver confidence and slowing you down. We also noticed the brakes lose some of their initial bite as they heated up, a problem that later came back to haunt the Shelby.
The ZL1, by virtue of its independent suspension and magnetic shocks, did not suffer this problem. Rather, it was planted and confident, never dancing over the bumps or otherwise testing the driver's resolve. Whereas the GT500 was work to drive hard, the Camaro made you feel like a hero, encouraging you to push ever harder. Drivers of both cars will have fun, but the ZL1 driver won't be sweating at the end of the road."
ZL1 does not have an answer for this

I remember them saying the same thing about the Busa when it was first released.
I also remember hearing it about the Busa. I think it's different with a car though. With a bike you can hit those big numbers in relatively short distances, and the power is controllable and usable. I just keep getting the impression that's not the case with the GT500. I think in the real world, both cars must be a lot of fun, but when it's time to go to the track, it seems like the ZL1 would offer a more enjoyable experience.
All this said, I've driven neither of them.
